Don't like plant-based meat alternatives, but want to spare animals and the environment? There's hope on the horizon, aided by a good helping of maths.
Hi,
Thank you for a brilliant visualisation of risk.
Can I simply add micromorts together? For example giving birth in UK and spending 2 nights in hospital = 230 or is it (I suspect) a little more complicated than that?
Also, are you able to use morbidity data to calculate "micromorbs" (ration of non-lethal risk)? For example, the risk, or micromorb, of experiencing lobar pneumonia following a general anaesthetic.
Greg.
